If God is all powerful why can't he rid of sin without having to give birth to himself and dying on a cross? That suggests he's not all powerful.
If he is all knowing how can there be free will if he knows everything we're going to do before we do it? Thus, he cannot be all knowing, or there is no free will.
If he is everywhere, then how did he leave the Garden of Eden and come back? Thus he cannot be everywhere.
If he is all good, why is there evil in the world, and why does he declare he created evil? (Yes, it's in your own book). Thus he cannot be all good.
These are what you would call contradictions.
I'm sure others here could list even more reasons if they can be bothered, but considering how well these discussions usually go I can't blame them if they'd rather sit this one out.
Let me add to the list:
How does a timeless God shift into time?
How does a supposedly mindful God exercise his/her mind in the absence of time?
What did God create the universe from?
How is the Christian God one being yet three persons, each distinct from one another and each the full essence of God?
